King Success

Hurriedly making his way, the ruler approached the city, admiring the awesome splendor and kind of troops. There were terrible traces of war there. And, since the sun was reflected in the shields, the earth was illuminated with double light; and even the weapons themselves, emitting rays, only increased the sun's light. Well, what can I say? What greatness did the army have, what beauty does the weapon have, what kind of faces do young warriors have, what unanimity will we be able to express? Then, through an obvious sign, divine protection was revealed. After all, I saw, as they say, a certain man from a foreign people, that the army of a pious ruler is under the protection of angels and that the angels by their fluttering over the camp show their protection. But, leaving these and similar arguments for a short time, we follow the order of the narrative.
